Lambda

This module provides you a sugar-syntax for GCC's anonymous functions.

Usage

int max = lambda(int, (int a, int b), { return (a > b)? a:b; });
int max = ʄ(int, (int a, int b), { return (a > b)? a:b; });
int max = ʎ(int, (int a, int b), { return (a > b)? a:b; });

lambda

lambda(type, args, body) type: macro

Note: it's not C compilant, but GCC compilant, it's currently using two extended features from GCC:

• nested functions
• statement expressions

• type: the returned type
• args: the arguments, enclosed by parentesis (())
• note that colon (,) is needed between parameters.
• body: the body of the function, enclosed by curly braces ({})
  • note that you must use semi-colon (;) for each statement and may need use return if some value is returned.

Alternative names

• ʄ
• ʎ
